Transfer Rumours 2012

[Aaron]

Done well at Coleraine but has been crap for Linfield

Dont think he suits their style. Coleraine played a style that allowed him to score plenty

[Nah Nah Nah Nah]

Whadeve. Bit touchy, aren't you, guessing that innovative webpage is run by you or your mates

Anyways, any word re Conor O'Grady making a swan-song season with bit-a-red? Good utility player, imo every bit as good as Ventre, better actually, even at this point and considering the deniros dished out he would be economic.

Hadn't heard anything about O'Grady coming back. Would be an ok squad player but he wasn't setting the world alight in his last year or two with us I didn't think

[adamd164]

Ross Gaynor is a quality signing for Sligo, great player.

As for O'Grady, if he does sign he'd be given a good reception down here anyway, really nice guy. I remember his first game against us after leaving, he scored in Turner's Cross and didn't celebrate... don't see that too much.

[HomerJay]

rory patterson would be a great signing for derry.

[sligoman]

He was never strictly employed by the club as far as I'm aware

Assistant manager no? Who else would have been employing him?

[Charlie Darwin]

Monaghan have signed Bray striker Conor Murphy and Ian Bermingham rumoured to be going there too.

As per that LOI blog

Jaysus, that's a huge coup by wheeler dealer Roddy.

Assistant manager no? Who else would have been employing him?

Nobody was employing him.

Did it as a favour to Mick O'Neill it seems after Croly jumped the boat. Maybe he was given something for hanging on for the Euro campaign, I'm not sure.

Didn't exactly set Finn Park alight either this season. Injured most of the season, and when he did play, the quality was clearly there but just lost his touch.
Would be a massive gamble for Sligo to take.

Good to see that happening from time to time, John Russell didn't celebrate a goal he scored in Terryland for Sligo before as well.

[passerrby]

In rod we trust

[sligoman]

Any word on where Richard Brush is going? Will Shams re-sign him? Was sure he was coming to us as still lives here and wanted to get back afaik but with Rogers signed now it's not gonna happen.

Would be a massive gamble for Sligo to take.

Not really, he's from/lives in Sligo and is a Rovers fan so probably happy to sign on relatively low wage, it's not his only job. He'd be great to have around even if he doesn't get much playing time, gives it his all every time he plays for us.

Rumours have started from far less about other clubs on the always ultra forum and soon become fact.

[placid casual]

Paul Cook to take over at Derry apparently.

Bit like the Evening Herald story that Cook was to take over at Shams. Never going to happen. Its Blighty or Bust for Cookie.

Not at all. He's a Rovers fan just like the rest of us. Like any fan Id say if you could be a squad player and get a game as a sub from time to time he'd jump at the chance. Aswell as that I think he could still do a job for us, especially when a game is tight with 15 minutes to go. Will bring passion and good experience to the dressing room too.

Sligo fans appear to be naive in the extreme when it comes to Cook.

While Shams' lot seem to know everything about him, Pat Fenlon and Pete Mahon.

[poster]

Nobody was employing him.

So, who was paying him?

[Spudulika]

Sammy I dont think Pizza and Felix will get the job, the job isnt right time for Pizza, id be looking at Pat Dolan, Damien Richardson, Kenny Cunningham and David Kelly for the Position with Decky Devine continuing as assistant, anybody any other ideas

Rico's up for a couple of jobs outside of Ireland, but Derry might suit him. He spent a good few years in the UK so it'd be like going home :-p Seriously he'd do a good job up north. Pat Dolan, hmm, can't see it.
